It happens every year. Along one of the main roads that I travel to town there is a storm drain at the bottom of a hill. During most of the year you’d never even know it was there. But when the rains begin each fall, wonderful things begin to happen to that nondescript circle in the middle of the road. I can’t help but wonder if anyone but me even notices it when to me it speaks volumes.
I think of all the dry spells in my life; I’m in one now. The days are long and exhausting, and sometimes I wonder how I will make it through to the next one. But everytime I pass this place in the road, my hope is renewed, and God reminds me that He will make streams in the desert places of my life, that He will give me beauty for ashes, that there is no place so dry He can’t reach it, and that no matter how awful I feel, He is there to satisfy my thirsty soul.

The photo speaks to me of LIFE. It is persistent since CREATION!
Wonderful observation. Happy WFW!
So, so encouraging to me today. Thank you.
I know that there are times when I see God doing that in my life also. What a great description and picture for that verse. And, what a great reminder for us all to keep our eyes open for the things that the Lord is doing in our lives…even when we are not at our best.
Awesome photo and verse.
Your verse goes so well with Amydeanne’s verse today. Finding joy and delight in the small things…. listening to God’s voice… what joy that is!
Beautiful illustration of the new things God does for us. Finding joy in the beauty of a storm drain – I’d say your dry season is coming to an end, my friend. I’m praying for you. Happy WFW!
This is cool! Love the thoughts you shared on the picture and then the scripture to go along with it.
Happy WFW!
Your description before the verse and picture was awesome. There is NO place too dry that I can’t reach. AMEN!
Blessings,
Jill

Go girl….He always does it.
There is always a way…I wrote a poem about it once.
I went and found it. It was in a book I had handwritten for my parents and was written in the third term of my first year of three in Bible College in Melbourne. Australia.
And there shall be a highway
And there shall be a highway
Though sometimes hid from view
A path of God’s providing
To lead His people through
It may, as ‘twas to Israel
Be hidden in the deep
But God can, as He did of old
Fold waters in a heap
And there shall be a highway
As there has been before
And there He’ll walk beside us
Of this, we may be sure.
‘Twill be a transformed pathway
No hunger, thirst or heat
Till safe at its conclusion
Our Saviour we will meet.
